The “Central Dogma”
• Flow of genetic information in a cell– How do we move information from DNA to
proteins?
transcriptiontranslation
replication

DNA is the flash but protein is the cash!

• Inheritance of metabolic diseases– suggested that genes coded for enzymes– each disease (phenotype) is caused by
non-functional gene product • lack of an enzyme• Tay sachs• PKU (phenylketonuria)• albinism
Am I just the sum of my proteins?

RNA
• ribose sugar • N-bases
– uracil instead of thymine– U : A– C : G
• single stranded• lots of RNAs
– mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, siRNA…

Transcription• Making mRNA
– transcribed DNA strand = template strand– untranscribed DNA strand = coding strand
• same sequence as RNA– synthesis of complementary RNA strand– enzyme

RNA polymerases• 3 RNA polymerase enzymes
– RNA polymerase 1• only transcribes rRNA genes• makes ribosomes
– RNA polymerase 2• transcribes genes into mRNA
– RNA polymerase 3• only transcribes tRNA genes
– each has a specific promoter sequence it recognizes
![Page 12: From Gene to Protein How Genes Work (Ch. 17). What do genes code for? proteinscellsbodies How does DNA code for cells & bodies? how are cells and bodies.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081416/56649e605503460f94b5abe6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Which gene is read?• Promoter region
– binding site before beginning of gene – TATA box binding site– binding site for RNA polymerase
& transcription factors
• Enhancer region– binding site far
upstream of gene• turns transcription
on HIGH
![Page 13: From Gene to Protein How Genes Work (Ch. 17). What do genes code for? proteinscellsbodies How does DNA code for cells & bodies? how are cells and bodies.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081416/56649e605503460f94b5abe6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Transcription Factors• Initiation complex
– transcription factors bind to promoter region• suite of proteins which bind to DNA• hormones?• turn on or off transcription
– trigger the binding of RNA polymerase to DNA
![Page 14: From Gene to Protein How Genes Work (Ch. 17). What do genes code for? proteinscellsbodies How does DNA code for cells & bodies? how are cells and bodies.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081416/56649e605503460f94b5abe6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Eukaryotic genes have junk!• Eukaryotic genes are not continuous
– exons = the real gene• expressed / coding DNA
– introns = the junk• in between sequence
eukaryotic DNA
exon = coding (expressed) sequence
intron = noncoding (inbetween) sequence
intronscome out!

• Post-transcriptional processing – eukaryotic mRNA needs work after transcription– primary transcript = pre-mRNA– mRNA splicing
• edit out introns – make mature mRNA transcript

• snRNPs– small nuclear RNA– proteins
• Spliceosome– several snRNPs– recognize splice

a biological “rule”!

Alternative splicing• Alternative mRNAs produced from same gene
– when is an intron not an intron…– different segments treated as exons

More post-transcriptional processing
• Need to protect mRNA on its trip from nucleus to cytoplasm– enzymes in cytoplasm attack mRNA
• protect the ends of the molecule• add 5′ GTP cap• add poly-A tail
– longer tail, mRNA lasts longer: produces more protein

The code• Code for ALL life!
– strongest support for a common origin for all life
• Code is redundant not ambiguous– several codons for
each amino acid– 3rd base “wobble”

Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote genes
• Prokaryotes
– DNA in cytoplasm
– circular chromosome
– naked DNA
– no introns
• Eukaryotes
– DNA in nucleus– linear
chromosomes– DNA wound on
histone proteins– introns vs. exons
eukaryoticDNA
exon = coding (expressed) sequence
intron = noncoding (inbetween) sequence
intronscome out!

• Transcription & translation are simultaneous in bacteria – DNA is in
cytoplasm– no mRNA
editing – ribosomes
read mRNA as it is being transcribed

Translation: prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes
• Differences between prokaryotes & eukaryotes– time & physical separation between
processes• takes eukaryote ~1 hour
from DNA to protein– no RNA processing

Mutations • Point mutations
– single base change • silent mutation
–no amino acid change
–redundancy in code• missense
–change amino acid• nonsense
–change to stop codon
When do mutationsaffect the nextgeneration?

Point mutation lead to Sickle cell anemia
What kind of mutation?
Missense!

Mutations • Frameshift
– shift in the reading frame• changes
everything “downstream”
– insertions• adding base(s)
– deletions• losing base(s)
Where would this mutation cause the most change:
beginning or end of gene?
